Well, first week is over at the magazine and I must say it has ended reasonably well. I have already learnt a bit about writing car articles, and found that my first articles will probably hit the stands in November. By which time I should be up to about 25 articles written so it will be interesting then.
The best part of the job is it working on the computer all day, isnt as bad as it seems. With researching time, and this includes looking at youtube or facebook, one can stay quite amused throughout the day. So there is always something to "research" in order to get inspiration for the stories.
This week In one of my articles I compared a car to its advertising campaign from 1962. Trim, Taught, Terrific being the catch cry.
See the ad here: http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/movie_popup/ford_falcon_xl.htm
yep, I applied a majority of the words used in the ad to the custom rebuild street car. I think it has made an interesting story, and once it hits the shelves I will put it on here.
Also today while researching I found that Mr Ken Block, has created a new Gymkhana video, and this one is an epic. Again it is filmed beautifully and with a sense of humour at the end.

Well tomorrow it is off to Newcastle in the morning to join the beginning of the days Mini drive from there, through Wisemans Ferry (where a car ferry takes vehicles across the river) and finally on to Kandos to use the burnout track. Not for the Mini's to use in burnouts, but for the Kandos Street Machine club cars to put on a display. So that will be slightly interesting as always..
After that I have to do some work on my own mini. Should be interesting. Hope I can get it done soon.
Until Next time.
